Nursing - B.S.N.

Effective May 17, 2024 FYS1020 and CAR0010 will no longer be requirements in our undergraduate programs.

The 16-month accelerated bachelor of science in nursing degree program is for students with an earned non-nursing baccalaureate degree, who have completed explicit prerequisites, to enter the field of nursing. Through simulated labs and clinical placements, which are key to the curriculum, nursing students learn and practice the methods to deliver safe and efficient patient care firsthand. Working directly under the supervision of seasoned clinical preceptors, these students gain hands-on experiences across all healthcare settings, including areas of practice relating to Medical/Surgical Nursing I and II, Pediatrics, Obesity, Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing, and Community/Public Health Nursing. The curriculum prepares students to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN).

Upon completion of this program, graduates are expected to:

• Use knowledge and skills required in the field of nursing practice to administer client care.
• Design and deliver person-centered client care across diverse health populations and settings.
• Provide evidence-based client care informed by the use scholarship and appropriate information and healthcare technologies.
• Use a systems-based approach to deliver client care aligned with essential principles of quality and safety within the field of nursing practice. 
• Integrate interprofessional partnerships into the planning and delivery of client care.
• Demonstrate professionalism required in the field of nursing practice through personal, professional and leadership development.
